Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is an everyday issue that affects many people. In many instances, individuals will grind their teeth at night without even knowing it. If you're experiencing headaches, tooth pain, inflammation, or discomfort in your neck and jaw, it's very likely you are grinding your teeth at night. To protect your mouth from the effects of teeth grinding, including deterioration of the enamel, East Village Dental Center offers customized night guards that can defend your teeth while you sleep. We create custom night guards for our Manhattan East Village patients utilizing high-grade materials to fit comfortably in the mouth and improve the nature of your sleep by diminishing jaw clenching and teeth grinding. If you would like to learn more about custom night guards, set up an appointment at our New York, NY dental practice.
Do I Need a Night Guard?
There are many signs that you may be clenching your jaw and/or grinding your teeth at night. You may wake up with pain in your jaw, a headache, and swelling in your lower face. Other symptoms include loose teeth and/or fillings, worn-down enamel on your back teeth, tooth sensitivity, and a receding gumline. Teeth grinding and jaw clenching at night are usually caused by stress but could also be brought on by a sleep disorder, misaligned teeth, allergies, or temporomandibular joint disorder (called TMD). When diagnosing your bruxism, we will try to determine the cause so your night guard can be coupled with another treatment for the best possible results.
East Village Dental Center Reviews
I was very fortunate to have had someone recommend this dentist to me. At the end, I was able to smile comfortably and with total confidence by the worked preformed and completed here at this office. My recommendation extends to anyone looking for similar outcomes such as I had received here at this office! Best wishes, Danny Colon
I recently visited this dental clinic, and I was very impressed. The clinic was extremely clean, and the staff provided quick and highly effective service. They used advanced techniques, and I felt very comfortable throughout my visit. They offer a complete range of services for all my dental hygiene needs. Highly recommend!!
I had my teeth cleaned this morning by Ruzana (Hygienist). She truly did her thing with cleaning my teeth so thoroughly, and I must say painless as well ๐ . Sitting in that chair had me feeling like I was getting a massage on my gums lol. You have to be really good to make your patients feel that comfortable. Robertssy, who is her assistant, is absolutely amazing also ๐. She took my ex ray's and before you know it she was done โ๏ธ ๐. I truly believe that these ladies are a gift from God. They make you want to come back after the wonderful experience at this location. Ruzana and Robertssy, you both deserve more than 5 ๐ ๐คฉ. Thank you for a great job ๐ ๐ โค๏ธ.
I have notice my teeth coming down more than ever.. however she has suggested for me to keep my teeth and suggested other alternatives.. that I am pleased ๐ with..
I really like this office, I'm glad I started coming here because of the location and staff is awesome. The doctor was very patient and thorough, she explained the procedure I have to have done in detail and I like that she didn't rush the visit. The front desk girls are great, very kind and welcoming. The office is nice and clean, very pleasant environment. I like that they don't overbook like many other offices do. I had to wait maybe 10 min until I was called to be seen. Overall I had a great experience so far. I recommend this dental office to all.

How is Teeth Grinding Treated?
After we make your bruxism diagnosis, we will take impressions and digital oral x-rays so your custom night guard can be created. We will send your information to a dental laboratory where your specialized night guard will be crafted with the best materials. When your night guard is complete and sent back to us, you will come back into our Manhattan East Village office to have it fitted. We can make small adjustments so that it fits properly and comfortably. You will also be given directions on how to properly care for your night guard so it lasts a long time.
What Can I Expect After My Teeth Grinding Treatment?
For your night guard to be effective, you must wear it each night. Your night guard should minimize or eliminate the pain and dental problems created by teeth grinding, but if not, please call us so we can address other issues and try other therapies. In order to help keep your mouth and night guard in pristine condition, you should properly clean and care for both your mouth and night guard prior to and following each use. We ask that you bring your night guard to all future dental appointments so we can make adjustments or repairs as needed.
